Doctoral Applied Business Research Project

Students will participate in a doctoral applied business research project. This project is designed to showcase your ability to perform research that is tied directly to an organization and leverage real world problems to develop solutions. You can show the knowledge and skills you’ve gained in this project as you go forward in your career.

What Can I Expect?

Most students take one to two courses at a time. One course typically requires 10 to 12 hours of study per week.

Courses are divided into 10 weekly units. Each unit consists of readings, discussions, and other activities you will be expected to complete throughout the week. Assignments are due on Sundays, though not every course requires an assignment each week.

In each course, you will receive a detailed scoring guide that describes expectations for every graded assignment.

Grades are based on your participation in weekly reading discussions and completion of assignments. You will also be assessed on your ability to demonstrate an understanding of expected outcomes for your program or specialization. These outcomes are based on the needs and performance standards of your field or discipline.
